Cover imageThe sleeve was devised by graphic designer Malcolm Garrett and showed a collage, created by Linder Sterling (known as "Linder"), depicting a nude woman with smiling mouths instead of nipples, and whose head is a clothes iron.[2][3] Linder has said "When I die, I'll tell my son that he can finally show the world the source image, because once you see it, you can't get it out of your head."[3] Release"Orgasm Addict" was released as the Buzzcocks' debut single on 4 November 1977.[4] The 7" French vinyl release contains different takes of the same two tracks. This was the only Buzzcocks single featuring bassist Garth Smith, who joined in early 1977 to replace Steve Diggle, who switched to guitar. Shortly after its release, he was expelled from the band.[5] The song later appeared on the album Singles Going Steady and also on CD reissues of Another Music in a Different Kitchen. ReceptionThe song was controversial due to its sexual content and was banned by the BBC.[6] Buzzcocks singer Pete Shelley later said that the song "is embarrassing. It's the only one I listen to and... shudder".[7] Track listing
